Scott,
Have you downloaded the glut.dll or the GemLibs, wich are needed for Gem to work ?
See under GemLibs here: http://gem.iem.at/download.html
The glut.dll should be in pd/bin
Good Luck /
Martin
i consider myself pretty technically able. i've only started VC++ inwindows so that's new territory for me, but i have a few years experience in linux programming, just school stuff though (nothing very deep).
getting GEM to work in either platform has been fucking hell. irealize it's a good idea to have every extention to Pd made available separately, but if I CAN'T GET THIS SHIT TO WORK, you can sure as hell believe that casual users won't be able to. i think this is all good software but it's just too hard to set up. i believe this stuff can go really far and its user base can get bigger and bigger, but there needs to be some ease-of-installation improvements.
for windows how about having an EXE file that installs everythinglike a typical program would? i'm talking about Pd, GEM, all the extentions like GrIPD, IEMLIB, GGEE, and ZEXY. still make the individual parts available to install the old way as well... for purposes unknown and the obvious one of portability; if you want to run pd on a PDA or something and definitely don't need other useless stuff.
for macOS have a same sort of EXE and do the same stuff in linux viathe typical .compile and .configure stuff. good idea???? YES!!! do it! i would except i don't know how.
your friendly but irritated visionary,
scott
